Rackley scheduled for MRI

Cleaning out the notebook from Gus Bradley’s post-game briefing following the Jaguars’ 31-24 loss to Philadelphia Eagles tonight:

*The x-Rays on the left leg of left guard Will Rackley were negative and he will have an MRI Sunday. Remember, the x-Rays on quarterback Blaine Gabbert’s thumb last week were also negative and an MRI discovered the damage.

Mike Brewster replaced Rackley, who was injured on the first offensive snap.

“The challenge is for the next guy to step up,” Bradley said. “We can’t miss a beat. We’ll see how Will’s doing and get the prognosis on it, but we’ll have guys that will be ready and the next guy will step up.”

*Safety Chris Prosinski left the game and was being evaluated for a concussion.

*Bradley said punter Bryan Anger did not play because he was on a pitch count of sorts – he had reached a punt limit and was rested.

*The Jaguars have to get down to 75 players by Tuesday but they are expected to do so on Sunday.

“This is always a tough day – you finish the game and some tough decisions have to be made,” Bradley said. “I talked to our guys about that. In this business, you want to keep it genuine and we have guys who have been with us a long time that we have to make decisions on – whether they’re here or not.

“We have a preliminary idea but we want to take this film and evaluate it and make our final decisions.”

“We’re hunting; we’re competing and trying to find guys,” Bradley said. “We need 6-7 core guys, if possible, on special teams. Right now, we feel there are 3-4. Those other spots are open. Hopefully some of the guys who are seconds and thirds on the depth chart took that to heart and went out there and competed and fought for those spots.”
